In his previous life, the beginning of the Song Dynasty was scorching. In reality, Lin Zhenqi no longer had the memories of his previous life, but he had encountered his first love, Song Chuchen, who was still a ghost. It turned out that for more than a thousand years, Song Jin had been searching for Lin Zhenqi. However, a female ghost had appeared out of nowhere to take revenge. Lin Zhenqi also had a affinity with the Daoist Priest, so he entered the Daoist realm. He and his master went around together to capture ghosts and exorcise evil spirits.

Taking into account the long history and wide range of Confucian Studies, this book introduces Confucianism - initiated in China by Confucius (551 BC–479 BC) - primarily as a philosophical and religious tradition. It pays attention to Confucianism in both the West and the East, focussing on the tradition's doctrines, schools, rituals, sacred places and terminology, but also stressing the adaptations, transformations and new thinking taking place in modern times. Xinzhong Yao presents Confucianism as a tradition with many dimensions and as an ancient tradition with contemporary appeal. This gives the reader a richer and clearer view of how Confucianism functioned in the past and of what it means in the present. A Chinese scholar based in the West, he draws together the many strands of Confucianism in a style accessible to students, teachers, and general readers interested in one of the world's major religious traditions.
Mu Jingyan lightly smiled. Her dimples were faintly discernible on her cheeks, and she was as adorable as a fairy.On campus, she loved him to the bones with a single glance from far away, waiting for him for seven years without any complaints or regrets. Seven years later, Ruyi became his wife. Every day, he would fight with his mother-in-law's sister-in-law for wisdom and courage.

Where is life to return to Hong, stormy in the martial arts world. When you bend over, you know what it means to be humiliated. When you look back, you can see your head bobbing up and down. His name was Lu Lu, who wasn't trapped within and struggling with all their might ... Perhaps this was his dream. This book has neither transmigrated nor become a fantasy, but it is simply about a colorful martial world: the tragic song of a prodigal son on an ancient road in the setting sun, the heroic demeanor of the desert in the sands of the earth, the thrilling killing and burning of a high moon and night, the windy and drizzling of the south of the river, the snow-capped wilderness, those tragic and moving love legends that make people mourn over their memories and think about their deaths ...

This comprehensive book delves into the fascinating world of quasiparticle properties of graphene-related materials. The authors thoroughly explore the intricate effects of intrinsic and extrinsic interactions on the material's properties, while unifying the single-particle and many-particle properties through the development of a theoretical framework. The book covers a wide range of research topics, including long-range Coulomb interactions, dynamic charge density waves, Friedel oscillations and plasmon excitations, as well as optical reflection and transmission spectra of thin films. Also it highlights the crucial roles of inelastic Coulomb scattering and optical scattering in the quasiparticle properties of layered systems, and the impact of crystal symmetry, number of layers, and stacking configuration on their uniqueness. Furthermore, the authors explore the topological properties of quasiparticles, including 2D time-reversal-symmetry protected topological insulators with quantum spin Hall effect, and rhombohedral graphite with Dirac nodal lines. Meanwhile, the book examines the gate potential application for creating topological localized states and shows topological invariants of 2D Dirac fermions, and binary Z2 topological invariants under chiral symmetry. The calculated results are consistent with the present experimental observations, establishing it as a valuable resource for individuals interested in the quasiparticle properties of novel materials.

This paper seeks to illuminate the uncertainty in official GDP per capita measures using auxiliary data. Using satellite-recorded nighttime lights as an additional measurement of true GDP per capita, we provide a statistical framework, in which the error in official GDP per capita may depend on the country’s statistical capacity and the relationship between nighttime lights and true GDP per capita can be nonlinear and vary with geographic location. This paper uses recently developed results for measurement error models to identify and estimate the nonlinear relationship between nighttime lights and true GDP per capita and the nonparametric distribution of errors in official GDP per capita data. We then construct more precise and robust measures of GDP per capita using nighttime lights, official national accounts data, statistical capacity, and geographic locations. We find that GDP per capita measures are less precise for middle and low income countries and nighttime lights can play a bigger role in improving such measures.

It was well-known that Mo Mansion's direct daughter, Mo Ran, was arrogant and unreasonable.Once she transmigrated, she became the Mo Estate's direct daughter. With the virtue of my heart, I saved a man who was seriously injured, but I was caught by him. He couldn't chase them away, and he couldn't beat them either. He had to prevent them from being found out at all times. After leaving the capital for five years, Mo Yeyue, who had returned to the capital, discovered that not only did Mo Yanxue not turn crooked after not seeing him for a few years, he had become even more exquisite and more lively. With the virtue of being like a fertile river that didn't flow to a foreign land, Mo Yanxue decided to accept this little monster. It was enough to harm him by himself.
